<p>Two important issues to put up front: 1.) People look for community and many stay in churches for that very reason. Community building is both rewarding and inspiring 2.) Many people fear consequences of turning away from god. The fear-factor can very easily be remedied by all the benefits of realizing a person doesn't have to wait for instructions from god to know the meaning and purpose of life, that each one bears responsibility to define him/herself and create his/her own…</p>

Well, sometimes you need to be a little bit rude, but I feel that generally people see atheists in a cold and unfriendly way, even though we are just normal people. If someone is rude to me, I would consider being rude in return if the situation called for it, but if I was to make a pamphlet that was overly negative, I feel that it would add to that generally negative perception that many people have of us, you know? I would rather make one that was thought provoking and nice to read than one…

I would rather make one that was thought provoking and nice to read than one that makes someone say to themselves, "Wow, atheists are a bunch of know-it-all jerks!" I want to educate and encourage people to explore rather than shut down their minds in irritation.<br/>
